Preventing Child Overweight and Obesity:
Raising Children to be Competent Eaters
Ellyn Satter, MS, RD, LCSW, BCD
Description
Child overweight can be prevented from birth through preteen years with optimum, stage-related feeding based on Satter’s Division of Responsibility with feeding. Child weight acceleration can be neutralized by correcting feeding problems and restoring optimum feeding. Optimum feeding raises children to be competent eaters, to enjoy eating, to have positive food acceptance and food regulation skills, and to participate happily in family meals.
